I recently bough the rog strix flare gaming keyboard and when i got it, it worked a day and then when i turned my pc on the next morning, the lights didn't go on and any of the keys don't respond. The pc detects the keyboard but it says the keyboard doesn't work the right way. I have tried all of the USB ports and Uninstalling rog armoury and a lot of other stuff. I don't want to send the keyboard to the shop again because it would take 4-6 weeks for me to get a new keyboard so help please.

Same for me,sent it to the shop,hope it works well when it arrives.

We have found the cause of this issue and a software fix is coming very soon. Sorry about the trouble guys.

Until then, for anyone else who has a Flare, before you update the firmware:
1. Make sure to unsync the Flare in Aura software (not turn off Aura lighting) by clicking on the link icon under the keyboard so it turns red.

2. Close Aura software.
3. Run Live Update in Armoury.

We will check for any other causes before releasing the next update. If you can think of anything that triggered your issue, please let us know.

Hi Inphecthyuz, did you have Aura installed and peripherals synced at the time?

Now i remember how and when my keyboard "broke". I synced my keyboard and mouse lighting and then i pressed the button on my keyboard that changes the brightness of the lights and then it just went black.

Seeing you say that,now i start to believe the issue was that button,because i turned on my pc,typed the password,pressed on the button at the right of the one that blocks the windows key(i believe thats the one @Hessu is talking about) and the keyboard stopped working.

So does our keyboards start working after the update on Armoury or not? @MasterC@ASUS
